Paolo Contis reflects on how social media changed the way people share opinions, reminding everyone to filter the voices they listen to.
"Learn to pause and evaluate."
This was the reminder shared by Bubble Gang comedian Paolo Contis at a time when opinions are freely aired on social media platforms.
Paolo, was the first guest of Your Honor last Saturday (December 6) on their first anniversary episode.
The Sparkle star, who has been a subject of online bashing in the past, reflected on the shift in how opinions are delivered and consumed today.
“Lumaki ako sa mundo na wala pang social media, okay. At naabutan ko 'to, okay.
“So nung panahon na wala pang social media, 'yung ibang taong sinasabi natin are your friends, your parents, and 'yung opinyon na 'yun matters,” Paolo stressed.
He continued, “Pero, ngayon kasi sobrang lumawak na 'yung opinyon ng lahat. So, kailangan piliin mo 'yung opinyon, 'yung pakikinggan mo.
“Kailangan mo salain, kasi lahat ng tao may opinyon. Lahat madami 'yan dahil lahat puwede mag-type ng opinyon nila 'di ba. Meron akong nabasa nung isang araw, alam naman ng mga tao, nakikita ko 'yung mga anak ko 'di ba [sina Xonia at Xalene]?
“[Sabi nung isa], 'Ayan, 'yan 'yung sinasabi namin. Dapat nagkikita kayo ng mga anak mo.' Pakialam ko sa 'yo! At feeling nila naayos 'yung buhay ko dahil sa mga sinabi nila 'di ba? No!
“Kailangan matuto ka lang sumala ng ganun. Na kung hindi mo kaya mag-sala, e, di huwag ka mag-post.”
Aside from being a mainstay in Bubble Gang, Paolo is part of the upcoming series The Master Cutter, starring Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes. Paolo is also part of the film Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario with Angeline Quinto, Richard Yap, Luis Alandy, and Eugene Domingo.
